How old would you guess 5 gram, 5 inch crested geckos are? I've had them about a month and have been wondering..

hopefully no older than 3 months. it really just depends on how well they are fed. i would guess 2 months or less if well fed.

Well... Petco said they had them for about a month, and I doubt they were very well fed there. I've had them for a month now and I switched them to CGD mixed with babyfood. I've only offered crickets once and they ate maybe 2 or 3. I can't really tell if they're eating at all, but I'm guessing that they are since they keep pooping lol. Right?
The smaller of the two was four inches and is now five. The larger of the two was about five and now is still about five.

They both seem to look healthy to me.. I'll attach a picture of each..

well, if they came from petco i would probably put them in at 3-4 months. i'm not saying they weren't fed, but usually the people petco and larger stores get geckos from also don't fully feed their animals. too many to worry about.
they look GREAT and are very healthy so i wouldn't worry about it too much.
